Frequently asked questions
Why should I keep 1964 Kennedy halves separate from later dates?
The year is part of the product’s metal specification. This offer is for the 1964 90% silver issue; the Kennedy portrait also appears on later coins with different compositions.
Does $1 FV mean one coin or one ounce?
FV means combined face value. A $1 FV lot represents one dollar in the stated coin denominations, not one troy ounce and not necessarily one coin. Silver content depends on the coin type and wear.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
Does the asking price guarantee a later resale value?
No. A future offer can reflect the metal market, product demand, condition and selling costs. Compare current buy and sell quotations for the same product when evaluating the spread.
